201 ÆäÀÌÁö - An occasional spy did indeed come in with the object of inducing our Sepoys and servants to desert ; but the intelligence derived from such sources was, of course, entirely untrustworthy. We sent our messengers, daily calling for aid and asking ' for information, none of whom ever returned until the 26th day of the siege, when a pensioner named Ungud came back with a letter from General Havelock's camp, informing us that they were advancing with a force sufficient to bear down all opposition, and...
174 ÆäÀÌÁö - From every pit, trench, and battery — -from behind the sand-bags piled on shattered houses — from every post still held by a few gallant spirits — rose cheer on cheer, even from the hospital.
192 ÆäÀÌÁö - The garrison had scarcely recovered the shock which it had sustained in the loss of its revered and beloved General, when it had to mourn the death of that able and respected officer, Major Banks, the officiating chief commissioner, who received a bullet through his head while examining a critical outpost on the 21st July, and died without a groan.
194 ÆäÀÌÁö - They soon had from twenty to twentyfive guns in position, some of them of very large calibre. These were planted all round our post at small distances, some being actually within fifty yards of our defences, but in places where our own heavy guns could not reply to them ; while the perseverance and ingenuity of the enemy in erecting barricades in front of and around their guns, in a very short time rendered all attempts to silence them by musketry entirely unavailing. Neither could they be effectually...
187 ÆäÀÌÁö - ... 71st native infantry (Sikhs.) "The troops, misled by the reports of wayfarers — who stated that there were few or no men between Lucknow and Chinhut — proceeded somewhat further than had been originally intended, and suddenly fell in with the enemy, who had up to that time eluded the vigilance of the advanced guard, by concealing themselves behind a long line of trees in overwhelming numbers.
211 ÆäÀÌÁö - Aitkcn, to a most galling fire of round shot and musketry, which materially decreased their numbers. They were so near the enemy that conversation could be carried on between them ; and every effort, persuasion, promise, and threat was alternately resorted to, in vain, to seduce them from their allegiance to the handful of Europeans, who, in all probability, would have been sacrificed by their desertion.
186 ÆäÀÌÁö - Sir, — In consequence of the very deeply-to-belamented death of Brigadier-General Sir HM Lawrence, KCB, late in command of the Oude Field Force, the duty of narrating the military events which have occurred at Lucknow since the 29th of June last has devolved upon myself. " On the evening of that day reports reached Sir Henry Lawrence...
202 ÆäÀÌÁö - ... days later — that the relieving force, after having fought most nobly to effect our deliverance, had been obliged to fall back for reinforcements ; and this was the last communication we received until two days before the arrival of Sir James Outram on the 25th of September. " Besides heavy visitations of cholera and small-pox, we have also had to contend against a sickness which has almost universally pervaded the garrison. Commencing with a very painful eruption, it has merged into a low...
189 ÆäÀÌÁö - Bhawun with regard to the Residency has already been described to the Government of India. " The untoward event of the 30th June so far diminished the whole available force, that we had not a sufficient number of men remaining to occupy both positions. The Brigadier-General, therefore, on the evening of the 1st...
193 ÆäÀÌÁö - Spare the holy places, and private property too, as much as possible ;" and we have consequently suffered severely from our very tenderness to the religious prejudices and respect to the rights of our rebellious citizens and soldiery.
